“We're always on the lookout for a literary page-turner, and when we started Patrick's book we couldn't put it down.”
From the award-winning team behind The People vs OJ Simpson.
The production company behind American Crime Story look set to turn their focus towards Northern Ireland as they have optioned Patrick Radden Keefe's book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland to develop as a limited series. The book tells the story of the 1972 abduction of Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow with 10 children, who was taken from her home in Belfast by suspected members of the Irish Republican Army after she was wrongly accused of being an informer.
Simpson added:"It's in the sweet spot for us and FX — on some level it's a crime thriller, an espionage thriller, but it's also about something more deep and resonant." Since the news was announced, Jean McConville's son has called plans to make a TV series based on his mother’s murder as “sickening".
